Lidia’s Lamb Chops 2008-03-20 13:32:52 If you’re anything like us then you’ll probably have a couple of dishes that you crave more often than anything else. And, again, if you’re like us, you probably always have the ingredients for such dishes in your pantry in preparation for whenever that craving strikes. These are the dishes that, like a line-cook in [...]
Remembering the Past, Looking Towards the Future (hopefully) 2008-03-19 14:36:39 Today I spent 7 long hours fixing this blog. One month ago we bought our own domain name and cut our ties with wordpress.com. They were great to us but we were ready to try some new things that you can only do if you have your own site.

Wendy’s Claims it’s Not Fast Food on New Commercial - HUH? 2008-03-18 11:06:52 Ok, this post isn’t as timely as I wanted it to be (I actually wrote it about 4 weeks ago), but it got buried under other things.
Basically, in a “new” commercial for Wendy
’s (you know Wendy’s, right? It’s a fast food joint) they try to tell us that “it’s waaaaaay better than fast food, it’s [...] Read more:Commercial
Newsflash: Ray-Ray’s Show to Get The Axe? 2008-03-13 16:23:36 Well, not exactly. Here’s what (A certain national celebrity mag) magazine’s daily news clips e-mail The Dirt reported today:
“Insiders say Rachel Ray’s daytime show will be taken off the air at the end of her contract in 2010. Apparently, her ratings are sliding.”
We are at pains to remind our readers that while we are certainly [...]
The Wrong Message from a Former Prophet 2008-03-12 08:15:11 So, the headline above might be slightly hyperbolic, but the sentiment I’m trying to convey is very real and serious. Last night, UK TV cooking legend, Delia Smith’s new show Delia premiered on BBC2 and instead of garnering the rave reviews virtually every one of her previous series have, this one has been roundly panned, [...] Read more:Wrong

Babbo on Top (Thank God Mario’s Not On Top Of Me!) 2008-03-08 10:52:43 A few weeks ago, Mario
Batali’s ridiculously famous and popular New York City restaurant, Babbo
, was named the #1 Italian restaurant in the whole city. Whoa… that’s pretty much an honor considering the amount of Italian restaurants here. I believe there are more Italian restaurants in the 5 boroughs than any other type [...] Read more:Thank
Fabada: A Mortal and Corporeal Sin, But Definitely Worth It 2008-03-07 08:29:31 “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.”
- William Blake
Have you ever thought, as you sit red-faced, breathing shallowly, “just… one… more… bite”? Have you ever then taken that extra bite and thought to yourself — in your blood-starved brain — “maybe, after all, I could manage another one”? And, finally, upon swallowing [...] Read more:Worth
Stuff This Into Your Easter Basket - Hornazo (Spanish Easter Bread) 2008-03-21 15:12:59 It was as if it was divine intervention. We finally found morcilla (see picture of sausages below - it’s the black one) in a specialty store up the block but we weren’t prepared to make a fabada. I picked up one of my favorite Spanish
cookbooks, The Food & Wine of Spain by Penelope [...] Read more:Easter

News Flash! Patti LaBelle Loves Hot Bags and Hot Sauce! 2008-03-23 10:11:41 Ok, this is just a quick post to offer a quick laugh. Hey, it’s still food-related! On Tuesday of last week, we went to Barney’s (you know the high-end NYC store) to use a gift certificate we had received from our wedding last summer. Now, I’m sure you think we’re sooooo fabulous [...] Read more:Flash
Reason Number 2,432,881 That Owning Your Own Domain May Suck 2008-03-26 07:39:13 Yesterday our site was down for approximately 6 1/2 hours. WHA-WHA-WHAT!? I couldn’t believe it. Not that we’re a high-trafficked blog like Perez Hilton or anything, but I was still pissed. I’m not saying that this whole switch to weareneverfull.com has been completely worthless, because soon we’ll post our first podcast [...] Read more:Reason

Trying Hard To ‘Think Spring’ - Parsley, Garlic and Parmigiano-Stuffed Artichokes 2008-03-29 11:46:14 With artichokes on sale for 98 cents each (better than the rabbit we bought the other week!), I just had to pick a few up. For some reason, I only grabbed two thinking I would make an appetizer or a side-dish with them. Well, let me tell you, this slight adaptation of a [...] Read more:Spring

Eating the Easter Bunny and Our First Podcast 2008-03-27 11:44:05 It’s the Thursday after Easter
and most people out there are still picking the candy and chocolate out of their teeth having just gorged themselves on all manner of Easter Bunny

New Feature: Drink of the Month - Soju 2008-04-02 18:19:33 To us, and we’re sure to many who enjoy eating, the pairing of a meal with a complementary beverage is a beautiful thing, but one which often seems intimidating. After all, haute cuisine restaurants can either prosper or fail on the recommendations of their sommeliers. Just imagine you ordered a $500 bottle of vintage Burgundy [...] Read more:Drink

I Can Bake! I Can Bake! I… ok, I Really Still Can’t Bake (But I Tried) 2008-04-01 11:22:27 I tried… after my first failed attempt at baking a strawberry cake in order to use up some nasty-looking, dying strawberries (that I bought hungry and on sale… natch) in my fridge, my ego was so bruised I didn’t think I was up for it again. You see, stupid me kind of forgot one ingredient [...]
BMI: Is it worth the anxiety? 2008-03-31 10:40:31 As regular readers will already know, we are gourmands, and not necessarily gourmets. [For those of you who aren’t sure of the technical differences between these two terms, a gourmet is a connoisseur of fine food and drink, a gourmand is a person who is fond of good eating, often indiscriminatingly and to excess.] And, [...] Read more:anxiety
How to Spatchcock a Chicken 2008-04-04 10:55:15 So, rather like the DJ I never was, but always secretly thought I could be if I could just get my hands on 1,000 records, 2 gold tecnics 1200s, and 5 years to practice in my bedroom, I’m starting this post, or jam, if you will, by giving a series of shout outs. The first [...] Read more:Chicken
Truffled Butter: A Prince Among Ideas 2008-04-08 09:58:30 I don’t think I’m the most creative person in the world, but I do have lots of ideas. Most of them are very mediocre and often focused narrowly on how I can explain being late for work again, or why I didn’t call my sister, but very occasionally I’ll have a good idea.

Taco Bell? I Think Not - How Good An Authentic Carne Asada Taco Can Make You Feel 2008-04-10 15:29:07 Normally we wouldn’t post a recipe for something as everyday as a steak taco. Most people know how to make them, right? But how many take the time to cook them really, really well? It actually doesn’t take much longer to make them more authentic.

Ensalada de Cabrales: When Cheese, Fruit & Nuts Become Sublime 2008-04-12 14:24:35 There are some things that just strike you as being astonishingly simple, yet brilliantly devised. For example, the interface of an iPod- the way you use it - is unbelievably clever in its design. One “wheel” and one button, and that’s it. Everyone - even me - can figure it out in about 8 seconds.

Remembering Italy with Thin Crust Pizza at Home - Why Make Pizza Any Other Way? 2008-04-14 09:53:56 We love pizza. We LOVE pizza. If we could eat one thing for the rest of our lives it would be pizza. During our seven weeks spent in Italy
over the past two years, we collectively ate over sixty pizzas. This is not a lie, an exaggeration or a pipe dream. We were not force-fed, [...] Read more:Remembering

Cuban Sandwiches: The Best Way to Eat Up Leftovers 2008-04-17 08:58:24 Cuba is synonymous with a few things in everyone’s mind, and whether or not you’re a commie, a weak-willed socialist-sympathizing pinko, or even a right-wing pseudo-fascist, there is much to admire about that politically-isolated island nation. It’s long and storied colonial history, the amazing preservation of its architecture and fleet of intact 1950s Chevrolet, its [...] Read more:Cuban

Asturian Oxtail (Rabo de Buey Asturiano) - Remaking A Delicious Spanish Meal 2008-04-18 16:40:22 If you are a regular reader of our blog, perhaps you remember this post on my husband’s near-death by gluttony as he ate his way through a giant Asturian meal - fabada.

After two trips to Bologna, I really began to understand how seriously the people there take their food. Because we are [...] Read more:Traditional
Prune: Restaurant Review 2008-04-24 10:45:58 Normally, when I think of prunes my first thought is the familiar TV commercial showing the side-by-side comparison of someone experiencing “bloating and discomfort” and someone enjoying the verve and gaiety brought on by just one bowlful of California prunes. However, since last Thursday, my first thought is now “when can I have some more?”. [...] Read more:Restaurant Review
